Experience.......


 Experience is not just a knowledge about something. It encompasses ideas, skills, tactics, practical knowledge and knack of performing something related to our fields and various aspects of our lives and obligations. Especially in today's era, it has become the decisive determinant of our lives and careers. Without it we are just like a cripple who remains confined to his bed leading a grey existence. In the same manner if we don't have any experience, we are less likely to getting recruited because in this age of our generations, every job, be it a big or small, demands our experiences. And this is what deters most of today's youth from obtaining the jobs.

But the questions here are: Is this totally a fault of youth? Is this a weakness of youth? is this a fate of youth? From my own point of view, the answer is undeniably 'No' because every one of us has our own talents, skills, knack, capabilities etc... The only thing is not every one acquires a privilege to showcase and prove his/her worthiness. There is nothing we can't do if we really are allotted to do something. All we need is will and patience. Besides, our minds and brains are incredibly adaptable and together they will play miracles in our lives.

Our government raises an issue of unemployment in our country and always talks on working towards resolving this issue but they talk more and do less. Besides they don't realize that they contribute to it. What I feel is that it is because of the government's policies and also of other employers' policies that many youth remain jobless. Youth are not solely responsible for the increasing unemployment rate. Government is also equally responsible for it and should take the same criticisms as youth. You can ask me why???

The response from me will be simply because of their setting of  experience as a first prerequisite for those job-seekers who are mostly the youth. It is foolishness of the employers and government to give jobs based on experience. How can one have experiences without getting into the real field and start working? Experience requires self-involvement. We don't get  experience by doing nothing or by judging others doing. From others' actions we will merely get ideas and techniques and when we put that idea and techniques into action, then we get experience.

Therefore, our government has to understand that  experience is not an inborn trait of human beings. It is acquired as we grow up and get exposed to different facets of our lives. So, it is their mistake to give jobs only to those who have good experiences. And this is what makes me disheartened, hopeless and resentful at the same time because this single thing ruins the lives of many.
